das Evangelium, pl. -lien


Explanation:
This is a legitimate German word, although "Bibel" is also used. The Greek word is "ευαγγέλιον" (evaggelion) meaning "the good word" (ο καλός λόγος - o kalos logos). An English word is "gospel" or "the Good Book"

Ευαγγέλιο (Evagelio)


Explanation:
Das Wort Evangelium ist vom Griechischem entliehen worden, es lautet also fast gleich.
Eu = Gut
Aggelia = Botschaft
Es ist also die "gute Botschaft"!

Hoffe, daί meine Antwort auch eine Art "Evangelium" auf deine Fragestellung war!
